This photo shows a dense forest of tall, thin trees with smooth white bark. The ground is covered in dry leaves and shadows, and the light barely reaches the forest floor. The trees stand close together, their branches reaching upward. The photo looks like it was taken in a quiet, shaded spot—no people or animals are visible. The lighting is soft, making the bark look almost glowing. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow work in photos like this.
